  I've seen you guys comment to this effect several times, but the most plausible explanation I can come up with is that this is a Nathan Fielder-style performance comedy. You insistently play the role of someone who is totally invested in their clearly nonsensical idea, and you take advantage of the fact that social pressure will cause people to go along with it.

    When you look at it that way, it's pretty funny! But, the truth is, I'm actually sitting in an office working on Urbit. I'd invite you to come by for coffee or something, but the internet tells me you're in Austin. Would Skype count as proof?

      I'm in CA right now. I'll send you an email. I'd be happy to be proven wrong and that Urbit is totally reasonable.

        Let the HN record show: wyager and I are going to meet up at some point. I may or may not be able to convince him that Urbit is real — but civility prevails nonetheless!
